5. Career Marred By Timberwolves

It is always fun to ask the question, “what if?” What if Love hadn’t been drafted by Minnesota? What if he didn't have to spend his entire career with a terrible team? What if Love developed with a different organization? Would he have a championship ring by now?

There is no question that the Timberwolves have dragged Love down. He has accomplished some great tasks as an individual, but he has nothing to show for on a team level. We will never know the “what ifs” of Love, but his contract with the Timberwolves only hurt his argument for the All-Star team.

4. No Loving Attitude

At times, Mr. Love has been known to become Mr. Angry Pants, and that is understandable; after all, it is the Timberwolves he plays for. But when you average a double-double and you are currently the biggest name on the team roster, you must keep a positive attitude. Sadly, Love has been known to point the finger and blame others for the team’s problems and even his own personal issues. Life isn’t easy and we are defined as well as graded by the way we handle the tough times. Let’s just say Love didn’t exactly pass the test.

3. Where's The Leadership?

Riding on the coat-tails of Love’s bad attitude is his inability to lead. The two essentially exist hand-in-hand as the lack of leadership play into the bad attitude. Love leads the team in scoring and rebounds, so it is safe to say he is the team star and leader. Well, a leader doesn’t point the finger and spread blame. A leader rallies the troops and guides them through the storm. Love would rather add fuel to the fire than act as an extinguisher.

2. All The Wrong Attention

Love’s pick as an All-Star starter came as a bit of a shock to me. Between belittling his teammates and suffering injuries over the last couple of season, the news about Kevin Love usually isn’t positive. An All-Star is someone who thrives individually and as a team. They know how to represent themselves on and off the court, as well as leading in the many different aspects of life. Love is starting to figure it out, but he still has some pieces to the puzzle to find.

1. A Lackluster Resume

When comparing two players, you compare season statistics in all categories, usually followed by the status of that player’s team. If the two players remain similar after those comparisons, then you move to the overall career. Compared to Howard and Aldridge, Love has very little accomplishment in his professional career; that includes not a single trip to the playoffs since being drafted in 2008. I will also add that Love has not played for a winning team at any point in his professional career, which I feel is necessary before starting for the All-Star team.
